Abstract

Originally from tropical South Asia and Southeast Asia, sugarcane  (Saccharum officinarum Linn.) is a significant perennial grass of the  Poaceae family. Due to the high yielding plant's valuable medical and  economic products, it is grown all over the world. Sugarcane juice is  widely recognized as a raw material for the manufacturing of refined  sugar. Although the main end result of sugarcane juice is refined  sugar, additional important products including brown sugar,  molasses and jaggery can also be produced during processing. In  India, sugarcane juice is frequently used to cure urinary illnesses  such anuria, dysuria, bleeding, and jaundice. In the present work, the  many phytoconstituents and health advantages of sugarcane and its  useful products are fatty acids, alcohol, phytosterols, higher  terpenoids, flavonoids, -O- and -C-glycosides phenolic acids and its  derivatives have been found in sugarcane leaves, juice and wax. The  wax from sugarcane juice is being studied as a possible replacement  for pricey carnauba wax, which has aesthetic and medicinal uses.
